JJacques offers a unique and memorable speakeasy experience in Quebec City, celebrated for its warm, intimate atmosphere and exceptional hidden entrance.

The food consistently earns high marks, particularly the fresh, high-quality oysters and creative seafood dishes, all delivered by attentive and bilingual staff who are dedicated to providing professional service. While it is a popular spot that can become busy, the overall quality, stylish decor, and meticulous attention to detail make it a highly recommended destination for both locals and travelers seeking a special dining experience.
Restaurant exceptionnel dans l'ensemble. On comprend rapidement pourquoi il est si bien coté : service professionnel, ambiance maîtrisée & plats très bien exécutés.
Cependant, une erreur importante est survenue durant le repas : les acras de morue servis étaient froids au centre. Dans un établissement de ce niveau, ce type de détail ne devrait tout simplement pas arriver, surtout sur un classique comme celui-là.
Le plat a été retiré de la facture, ce qui est apprécié. Cela dit, considérant la réputation & le positionnement du restaurant, je m'attendais à une prise en charge un peu plus proactive pour compenser l'expérience.
Ça reste une très bonne adresse & je recommande, mais avec ce niveau d'excellence affiché, chaque détail compte.
Absolutely amazing service. My partner & I were visiting the city for our anniversary, fortunately a local recommended this speakeasy. Wonderful staff serving in French & English, & great selection of drinks to celebrate with. We will definitely be back in the future.
Wow & tout simplement wow, nourritures, cocktail & surtout le service tout simplement incroyable, une expérience à vivre, merci à Francis pour une soirée exceptionnelle, je recommande ce resto à découvrir absolument, je donnerais min 6 étoiles sur 5

Nothing but amazing things to say about this speakeasy! The oysters are a MUST (their spicy sauce with mango is unreal), the cocktails cater to everyone's taste, their service is over par. Nicholas is so friendly, professional & helpful - made us feel right at home. Would recommend in a heartbeat & will be back very soon!
Super expérience au Restaurant J Jacques! L'ambiance était chaleureuse & le service impeccable. Un gros merci à Nathan pour son accueil & ses recommandations il a vraiment rendu la soirée encore plus agréable. Les plats étaient délicieux, bien présentés & pleins de saveurs. On sent que la qualité des ingrédients est une priorité. J'y retournerai sans hésiter & je recommande à 100 %!🥄
Wow, we had cocktails & dinner here last night & everything was fantastic.
Selection of cocktails was impressive- many different styles & complex. We sat at the bar & it was a really fun experience to watch them get made.
Food wise, highly recommend the butterfish tataki & foie gras torchon. We also ordered oysters (delicious!), mushroom tortellini & poached pear for dessert. All were excellent.
Service was 10/10 from start to finish- servers were lovely & attentive.
Would highly recommend & suggest reservations as it got busy really fast!
We had an exceptional experience at JJacques. The atmosphere felt exclusive & elevated, & the service truly stood out - especially thanks to Nathan. He took the time to walk us through both the food & drink menus with genuine care & enthusiasm, offering thoughtful recommendations that were absolutely on point. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, & thanks to him, we've discovered a new favourite cocktail: the Silver Monk.
A remarkable dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.
